Sept mois devant fera nocturne augure:

Mur d’Orient cherra Tonnerre esclaire,

Sept jours aux Portes les ennemies a l’heure.

Seven Months together shall make a nocturn augury,

The Eastern Wall shall fall, the Lightning shall shine,

Then the enemies shall be at the Gate for seven days.

By the Royal Bird is meant an Eagle, which for seven days together shall be observed upon some Eastern City, and shall be taken for a presage, that the Eastern Wall of that City shall fall by Lightning, at which time the enemies shall be at the Gate for seven days together.
